Mizu manjū
(水まんじゅう, Mizu-manjū, Water Manju)
Mizu manjū is a unique Japanese confectionery made with the starchy kuzuko powder. The mixture of sugar, water, and kuzuko creates an almost transparent treat with a jelly-like consistency. Traditionally, sweetened red bean paste is used as a filling, but today mizu manjū appears in numerous variations.
This light, watery dessert is usually enjoyed as a refreshing summer treat.
